15 of us enjoyed a warm, sunny day at WCOS Shell Ridge Preserve. We started from the Sutherland Dr trailhead and turned immediately right (east) on the Fossil Hill Tr. We followed the Indian Creek Tr ESE and then walked North to Ginder Gap. There the group split with the larger number walking up to the ridge and the remainder following Corral Springs Tr along the north side of the ridge. We met at the big oak by Indian Valley Elementary School and completed our loop to the cars via Fossil Hill Tr. 3.54 for Ridge top group; 3.25 for the others.
The section of Fossil Hill closest to the entrance is being tended and the plantings "enhanced" with big swaths of seeded in wildflowers...we saw Poppies, Chinese Houses, Popcorn flower, Phacelia, Yarrow, etc. There are hoses and flags marking plants of interest. Well worth a visit if you have a little bit of time as you don't need to walk very far.
